Ground

Your breath fogs the glass
As we drive in the dark
With my hand reaching out
Through the cold
We've spent so much time hating
And we've spent our lives just waiting
For a space to stop
And a house to call our own
After me comes the flood
A river red with blood
Of lives that tried and lost
After me comes the flood,
The flood, the flood, the flood
By hearth, and ash, and fire
We're lay our souls to the dire
Dank and cruel
Ruins of our town
Our time will writhe around us
And our pains will come out right
As we watch
The sun setting down
After me comes the flood
A river red with blood
Of lives that tried and lost
After me comes the flood
The flood, the flood, the flood
